A Novel

"Everett John "Patch" Kinkade isn't fazed by violence and death. He has battled rival MCs in bare-knuckle brawls, survived laying down a bike at 90 mph over 400 feet of asphalt, and locked horns with shady law-enforcement agents." "But when Patch learns that four of his fellow Infidelz have been mysteriously executed, their frozen bodies left on display in a meat locker, he knows that this is a sin that will require maximum payback." "Unfortunately for Patch, solving the murders is not a simple matter. The killer won't show his face. The more Patch investigates, the more he is convinced that the answers he seeks can only be found within the walls of a federal prison. Hatching a plan that could get him killed or, worse, keep him behind bars for the rest of his life, Patch must break into prison to get the answers he needs and hunt down the assassin. It is the worst possible environment for Patch to execute his revenge, a place where he is surrounded at all times by truncheon-wielding correctional officers and watched constantly by video cameras, and where his fellow inmates just might want him dead. He will have to overcome these obstacles to learn who is responsible for the murders of his club brothers and settle the score." "Patch's investigation points to an Eastern European crime lord, a killer wanted in two countries. On the outside, Patch is royalty, revered by his fellow Infidelz and respected even by ordinary citizens. Inside the lockdown, he desperately needs to watch his back, because every question he asks and every clue he unearths is like pulling the trigger in a deadly game of Russian roulette, and Patch knows that he might be on his final chamber."--Jacket.

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Fiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.

Good to know

A comfortable full-length choice for steady daily reading.

Begin with its place in Fiction, then notice where the book resists that label.

Try this reading approach

Read for connection, not completion.

Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.

Three questions to carry with you

  1. What does the central character want, and what do they misunderstand about that desire?
  2. Which detail or relationship changes how you interpret the story?
  3. What feeling or question does the book leave with you after the plot moves on?
